They have done far more harm than good for animals. They hold extreme positions and use violence and shock campaigns to promote their agenda, as well as targeting young children. They do not believe in animal welfare, but rather in animal rights, which is a whole different matter. Their prominence in the media and their extreme and impractical positions cause many people to lump those fighting for animal welfare in with them, and sets the process of achieving more humane treatment for animals back hugely.

They do more harm than good. That, and they use horrible fear and scare tactics to convert people, mainly small children and teens, into their beliefs. Kind of sick. I remember a few years ago, they were calling "Pokemon" a horrible thing, that it promotes mistreating animals...if that's not geared towards children, I don't know what else is.
